We the People wonder if these lawmakers know that St. Paul also received free legal services from Dorsey & Whitney as part of this dirty dealing? That's right............Dorsey & Whitney put 5 lawyers on the case and told the judge they were representing St Paul for free! Can you believe it?

The inquiry surrounds the lawsuit Magner vs. Gallagher. Filed by 11 St. Paul landlords, it accused the city of going to excessive lengths to condemn their properties -- a "code to the max" strategy they say reduced the number of affordable housing units available to minorities. They claimed the result was a violation of, or had "disparate impact" under, the federal Fair Housing Act. The city appealed a legal decision to the nation's highest court, and many civil rights advocates worried that the city would win and that the result could create exceptions to the Fair Housing Act and other civil rights legislation. Instead, the case is now being heard in U.S. District Court in St. Paul. An hearing scheduled for Friday, Oct. 26, recently was http://citystpaul-ponzi-principal.blogspot.com/2012/01/ussc10-1032-citystpaulmagnervslandlords.html
